Fabulous Surprise!,
By Chrissy "Chrissy" (Redmond) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Choices (Paperback)
I picked up this book in the bargain bin at a book store. What a wonderful story!! It thoroughly involved me in the facinating life of this gutsy and adventurous heroine, capturing 60ish years of world events through her eyes. She begins as a privileged and naive 20 year old, in the twenties, roaring off to help the red cross in the coal mines of the south. What she experiences there turns her into a true humanitarian. This leads her on to Spain during a revolution and many other adventures. The characters are well developed and very likable. I have read most of the best sellers this year and this stands out as one of the best!

Best book I've ever read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Choices (Paperback)
As a Lit major I have read a lot of books that are blessed with the distinction of being "good literature." Choices is easily my favorite in my long list of quality books. Being able to follow the development of one character so intensly is sastisfying and Mary Lee Settle did a perfect job of making Melinda's life one to get involved in.

A compelling story by a veteran author but new to me.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Choices (Paperback)
Choices was a holiday gift to me in 1996 and I was surprised to discover a Southern writer who had written so many books that I'd not heard of. Then, once I read Choices, I was really amazed that I'd missed a writer of such quality with such a compelling story to tell. Because my books circulate to family and friends, this copy of Choices has been dropped in the ocean or bathtub or both and now bears a fair amount of tape.But it's battered condition shows the number of folks that have enjoyed it; each exclaims that this is such a good book.
